About us

“Maris Paraty is also our home and we love recommending places that we usually also like to attend. We make an effort to welcome our guests, without interfering in their privacy, providing a spontaneous and friendly service, however discrete. We participate actively on the day-to-day of the Pousada, but we count also with wonderful professionals.”

We are a Brazilian-Belgian couple with a passion for travelling. We met in 2010 and got married in 2016 in a magic ceremony in front of the breath-taking Paraty Bay.

We decided to create roots in Paraty when we took over the administration of Maris. Here we can reciprocate a little of the warm welcome we have received around the world.

Our travels, Pieter’s experiences in restaurants in Antwerp and Mari’s years of work in the fields of tourism, urban planning and gastronomy all sum up to make our guesthouse both personal and professional. An appropriate choice for our talents and life plans. We love what we do and we hope that reflects in our work.
